Chapter Summaries

Fanxin and Bingfeng stayed behind while Sun Zhijian sent the rest of the Fanxin Pirates away, then fought off the Big Mom fleet pursuing them. After Bingfeng overwhelmed the attackers, Fanxin and Bingfeng set off slowly in a small boat so the crew could prove they could manage the fleet themselves.

• Fanxin decided to follow the crew slowly by small boat, letting them handle the fleet under Qiangwei, Wang Yan, and Little Fox's leadership.

• Big Mom chose not to pursue Fanxin, while news of his incursion spread and made the Heavenly Soul Pirates more feared across the New World.

• When a stubbled pirate aimed his gun at a worker, a feather pierced his arm, and the buzz-cut man warned the pirates not to cause trouble.

Fanxin and his companions explored the Peng Bird while preventing Blackbeard's men from escaping and preparing for Shiryu of the Rain's arrival. Shiryu reached the island and attacked immediately as Fanxin watched from a distance.

• Shiryu attacked the hidden defender with acidic rain and, after ten minutes of fighting, struck with a Haki-coated sword beam that forced an old man out of hiding.

Shiryu of the Rain fought the white-haired old man after the old man refused to answer for killing Shiryu’s subordinates, but withdrew when he realized the fight could leave him vulnerable. Fanxin then visited the old man for a drink and heard a warning about the dangers ahead in the New World.

• Shiryu of the Rain followed the old man to a forest, where they exchanged sword attacks and fought for half an hour without either gaining the advantage.

• The old man invited Fanxin for a drink, and Fanxin set out for the village with Little Fox and Little Black Cat.
• Fanxin joined the old man at a table of food and wine, where the old man warned him to beware of the Four Emperors, the Shichibukai, and hidden forces.

Fanxin offered the old man and the villagers refuge in his territory, and they chose to leave the island for safety. Fanxin then began searching the island for the Peng Bird, but a cave led him and his companions into a vast inner world after an unknown attacker destroyed their robots.

• Fanxin offered to take the old man and the villagers to his territory, where several powerful fighters could protect them, and promised them transport robots.
• The old man consulted the villagers, and they all chose to leave; Fanxin gave them a letter, a Vivre Card, and robots to make the journey.
• Fanxin sent robots to scan the island, discovered three places they could not examine, and led his companions to a hidden cave.
• The robots entered the cave, but their feed went dark and they stopped responding, so Fanxin took Sun Zhijian, Little Fox, and Little Black Cat inside while Bingfeng and Wang Yan stayed behind.
• Fanxin found the robots dismantled in the cave and led his companions deeper until they reached a vast square containing mountains and rivers; he ordered Little Black Cat to send out more robots to search.

Fanxin and his companions entered a forest of murderous trees, lost all five hundred of Little Black Cat’s robots, and fought their way through the vegetation. They discovered the trees controlled powerful human puppets, and Little Fox’s first attack revealed that the puppets could quickly reassemble.

• Little Black Cat sent five hundred robots into the forest, but the trees destroyed them and then prevented the survivors from returning.
• Fanxin led Little Fox and Sun Zhijian into the forest, where his Soul Clan secret technique revealed that the trees were attacking them.
• The group cleared a wide area by destroying the surrounding trees, only for the remaining trees to transform into hundreds of human figures and surround them.

• Little Fox attacked the puppets and sent many flying, but they reassembled and charged the group again.

Fanxin and his companions escaped the forest of living trees and split up to explore the island. At a lake, Fanxin discovered and threw ashore a strange scaled creature that had destroyed Little Black Cat’s robots.

• Little Black Cat said the creature was no use to it, and Fanxin decided to let it go.

Fanxin and his companions escaped the island’s attacking trees, then discovered that the trees were the body of the Peng Bird, which gave Fanxin its mutated blood before they departed. Three months later, they entered Blackbeard’s territory, where Fanxin prepared everyone for an impending fight to the death.

• Fanxin, Little Black Cat, and Sun Zhijian fought their way out of the cave as the trees attacked, then joined the others and fled to their ship.
• Fanxin searched the island with Haki, but the trees gathered into a gigantic Peng Bird, which explained that they had sustained its soul and blood after its death.

• Fanxin warned Bingfeng and Wang Yan about Blackbeard’s quake and darkness abilities and told the crew to prepare for his arrival.
• Blackbeard’s dark gas covered the sky, so Sun Zhijian and Little Black Cat sealed the ship and sank it beneath the sea while Fanxin, Bingfeng, and Wang Yan stayed behind.

Fanxin and his allies fought Blackbeard as he used his darkness power to survive their attacks and opened a Darkness Domain that made their attacks ineffective while empowering his crew. Fanxin realized Blackbeard might be too exhausted to attack himself, so they fled into the air and waited to see how long he could sustain the domain.

• Fanxin and the two women flew beyond the pirates’ reach, and Fanxin challenged Blackbeard to keep the Darkness Domain active as long as he could.

He entered the storm in a transformed, lightning-powered fortress and warned that he might destroy the kings’ foundations if they joined forces against him.

• Little Black Cat told Fanxin that the Riot Sea’s nine kings might ambush them together, and Fanxin agreed to let the crew choose whether to enter Diamond Space or face the danger outside.

Fanxin’s crew crossed the turbulent Riot Sea, where Fanxin discovered and destroyed a submarine stalking their ship. The submarine belonged to Messi, the oldest and strongest of the nine kings, who ordered Fanxin to submit or face an attack as his men set out toward the pirates.

• Fanxin suspected the gangs might attack from beneath the turbulent sea, so Wang Yan heated the water with magma while Bingfeng and Fanxin prepared to defend the ship.
• Fanxin found a submarine following the ship, smashed its window, and flooded it; Bingfeng killed the Fish-Men who escaped.
• Messi learned that Fanxin’s Pirates had destroyed his submarine and ordered Fanxin to submit and join him or be attacked.
• The man in the suit gathered men and headed toward Fanxin’s ship to deliver Messi’s demand.
